Not me but, my friend, who is currently living with me for the 2nd or 3rd time, goes through the same things. She's manic-depressive and its like a roller-coaster all the time. When she is working, she's always the hardest/best employee wherever she is... to the point that other, established employees start to resent her. And, of course, that doesn't help the depression/anxiety. When she is down, like right now, I have to keep a cool head because she's mad at something and just takes it out on me.
IMO, the thing to REALLY keep in mind is you don't have to deal with it completely on your own. There's always someone who is willing to help out. Hell, if you don't know who that person is in your life, reach out to me! I've been trying to help her... I'll listen to you too and give what I feel is the best advice.
What kind of lifestyle does your friend live that you working a normal job would cause you to not be able to live there?
